The Detroit Conference.

SAGINAW. Sept l6.-Five new presiding
elders are to be created at the present ses-
sion of the Detroit conference. something
rather unusual, but the candidates are suf-
iciently numerous to allsy all fear that
there may be any difficulty in filing the
places. In fact the buzzing is quite eager.
and it is just possible that the best poiiti-
clans will get these places.
This morning Rev. DR.. Edwards and Dr.
Fiske were elected delegates TO the general
conference.
According to the business report IL was
learned that the mission property st Sault
Ste. Marie has been sold for $50, ,000 that the
Methodist publishing house presents the
conference with 1886 to be distributed among
the worn out preachers, and that Albion
college is in prosperous and hopeful con-
ditiOn.

They VIII Not Exert Themselves to Cir
late Local Option Petitions

Iato EOCaI OptfOu otEtIOH1
LANSING, Mich, Sept. l6.-At confer
ence of members of the Prohibition State
Central Committee. county chairmen and
prominent workers held here last night. it
was decided TO recommend that the central
committee appoint financial agent to soli-
cit compaign funds in every township in the
State.
A lively discussion of local option
brought out a general sentiment TO the
effect that the prohibitionists did not pro-
pose to rush around with petitions designed
TO set on foot the operation of that law, but
II any one brought such petitions to them
they would sign them an5 rots for the
measure. and that they would heartily CO.
operate with the Republicans in everything
the men Of that party may do 10 secure the
enforcement Of the losal option enactment.

conduct that il was impossible to con
duct ii on either side without inflicting
dreadful wounds. These are still
gaping, open and sore They must
have time TO heal else the irritation
will become permanent to the great
detriment Of every good interest OF
the people. Every cause for ill-feeling
should DO scduously avoided. The
incipient boycotts inaugurated should
be declared Cil. The hauling out OF
bitter expressions aud eXasperating
"reminiscences of the tight, ought TO be
stopped. Its over. and the vaIq1ishCd
can only bow and submit, while the
victor should be lorbearing and gen
crous. our be ghbors ana friends are
still with US with all their old time
rights unimpairod. We are glad that
it is so, and we trust they will stay
good democrats aud good citizens.
The blessed ladies will find THE

endeavor 10 uphold and strengthen

In the course of conversation

language:
This eiecton has developed some
rather satrtling social and religious
conditions, and 1t will require years
to remedy The evil effects OF these ex.

teachers OF religion aud morals have
used their positions TO inculcate in
the wives aud daughters of Texas
different political views from those
held bv their husbands anc fathers,
and thereby are responsible formuch
domestic discord. These men have
also used the barshest language and
produced the most bitterness in the
campaign, showing all absolute want

to viist Waco also, on his proposed
western trap in October. 1t seems to
us that such thing could be very

good, aud certainly our warm

mean that THE EXAMINER is reducing
its temperature as a Coke organ
THE EXAMINER has lost mono Of its
ancient faith in senator Coke, but
none OF it's relish for joke at his eX-
pense as we'll o. at the expense OF
any other man. The Statesman is
premature in its desires to see the
scslping process begin. Senator Coke
stands to-day where few men have
stood In the confidence OF tho people,
and The EXAMINER for one has no
desire to see his influence lessened.
THE lIico Courier may keep its
neither garments on. No one would
ever think of reading it out OF the
party. 1t is not loader OF the peo-
pie. II would seem, and Judge Clark
is only after the leaders Of would be
democratic prohibition. There is
Que thing certain, however, aud that
is that the future moves of prohibition
will be watched with a wary eye by
all true democrats. 1t may require
another drubblifs to make Thorn lie
still, but they can have that whenever
they wantit. Being defeated by near
ly 100000 votes, modesty is becoming
for the pros. They can now sit still
ahwile and see what the triumphant
democracy have in store for them. A
good deal depends upon good bchav
Tor. Let the Courier and all its way OF
thinking ponder little on tins lesson.
The lessons ofdeteat are sharp aud
bitter but they are those that are al
